In the Write Order: Organizing Your Family Story

Complex writing projects need an organizational structure and systems to stay on track and avoid becoming overwhelmed. This presentation shares what I wish someone had taught me when I first began doing historical research and writing books. Learn best practices I’ve picked up along the way, including the specific files and infrastructure I set up at the start of each project. Finally, we will introduce new AI technologies and automations to make quick work of what used to be tedious…without sacrificing your unique voice. See which tools save time without a ridiculous learning curve.
